Dunno why it broke.

I pulled the boost down to 1.5 bar (minimum I can run). Came in second session and second gear was knocking. Terry at award thinks its a bent or broken gear.

Dunno when I'm gonna pull it out. I'm a bit heart broken ATM.

i feel for ya man.....I really do. However, I'd be wanting to find out the cause of said broken gear as OS Giken Gbox should be capable of handling your cars power output

If I could quote both on my phone I would!

Ants; it's the torque. Twist x RPM = power. Bah.

BBQ Sleeper; I know what you're saying. I'm

Not one to be hard on the equipment. Hell, I turned the boost down and was shifting at no more than 6500 RPM. I never shift hard. Grr.

and that's what concerning to me.

Lol twisted gear set on a 2.8 litre with too much "torques"

Lol sounds like a farken assembly problem or bearing issues Eg assembly problem

Billet metal doesn't "bend" under 2.8 litres of nm

Just saying ... Unless your 2.8 is a 6 litre turbo diesel

Award f**ked up?

Hoping its a collapsed bearing. I've rung Terry and he hasn't given me good news.

The is gear set is rated for 800hp and if you do the math Paul's car is making some where around 750-800 at the engine, which puts the box at the top of its capabilities

Ye

Id put it at at 730-740hp at the crank

And you can really rate a gearbox by horsepower. Os should rate then by torque.

475kws is 617hp at the wheels now with an average drive train loss of between 20-30%, you're looking at 741-803hp at the crank and even if you take the middle ground of 25%, it's still 772hp

And the fact this car is making 350kw by 4500rom says it's making bucket loads of torque right through the rev range

+1 indeed.

So, after Tuesday, it looks like I have broken or bent a tooth in second gear.

Time for another aftermarket gearbox.

PPG straight cut dog box? The OS 5 speed doesn't cut it! :(

Transfer the money and I'll send it up..

You'll have to get rid of your nismo clutch though.

Lol.

Yeah, no.

There is nothing "street" about a holinger box.

Hang in there Paul, sure it can be heart breaking with things break but its part of playing with performance cars too....

I'd like to know how noisy a holinger is compared to a normal box too for streetability. If your not driving the car every day, who cares if its not a lot of fun in 3 point turns.

Have you thought of using an R34 getrag? With the R33 diff ratios it would handle more power, plus they are nicer to drive than an R33 box and cheaper than a holinger or built box.

I've thought about the R34 box. Are they really that strong? I liked the long ratios, it worked well. With the getrag and 4.11's it would go back to "Evo like rowing gears", which is something I don't think I'd like.

Holinger.... Nah. $20k for a box. Blah lol

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
